The profile appears to have some inward doubling also. What do you guys think? Have one of these been found on this year yet? Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5208 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 11:02 pm Interesting. I'd say Strike Doubling / Machine Doubling / or whatever we are calling it nowadays as B in Liberty appears doubled as well as In God and the eyelid. Report this Post to the Staff

StoneFree Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 02/22/2015 9:21 pm Yeah I'm sorry but that was the closest I could get for a pic and still be in focus, the eye is very interesting as it appears there are 2 eyeballs. I've been trying to research Strike Doubling and trying to tell if the doubled areas are shelflike or rounded, but I can't really tell. They do look rounded at the ear and the eyes but I cant tell for sure. Regardless if this is authentic doubling or Strike Doubling, this is still an awesome find for me.I have been through hundreds of thousands of halfs and I do check most of the coins out individually. BTW the pic makes it look like some of the writing may be doubled but it is not at all. I ordered a triple loupe so I can check it out better) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 11:33 am If it were a doubled die, then the devices would be enlarged. The ear or eye could be larger than normal. Thus using a side by side process of your coin and another one, crop the images the same. Size them and move the two ears to the same location. Then you can see if the ear is enlarged, or reduced by the affect of the area in question. Reduced in size, machine doubled. Enlarged a doubled die. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 4:25 pm What I could see doing what I suggested on a set of images, told me that the ear is normal in size. A clearer image would tell us more as to confirm it is machine damage on these areas. Report this Post to the Staff
